Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "what-if" specifically refers to changing assumptions or data in a model to see the impacts on the outcome, which is the type of analysis mentioned in the question. Therefore, option D is the best choice. Option A refers to a different type of analysis where the decision maker specifies a desired goal and the system computes the necessary inputs to achieve that goal. Option B refers to experiments conducted outside of the model or system. Option C refers to models that have a strict set of rules and parameters, whereas DSS models are generally flexible and allow for changes to be made.
